Just something for you guys to think about and maybe answer...

So rainbows... Are they a perfect half circle? Is it human perception that shapes them? Can this tie into disproving flat earth theory?

They're just reflected light after all... Im asking about the generic rainbow on the horizon but others are welcome to be discussed.

>Are they a perfect half circle?
but they aren't desu. They're full circles.
>Is it human perception that shapes them?
there's nothing special about humans. And we don't determine their shape you dufus.
>Can this tie into disproving flat earth theory?
Theories require evidence supporting them. So the earth being flat was never a theory.

Well we perceive them as circular even though its just light radiation...

And matter is made up of light energy....

So if we were in space we would perceive the earth as round if the reflected light has the same properties as the forces that make a rainbow circular even if it was flat?

Rainbows are just light relected yet it still follows the universes laws and have perfect form...

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 18 04:55:02 2016 No.8210899 I'm just wondering what the heck is in a water supply that creates a rainbow effect in a sprinkler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c6HsiixFS8
